Books with title Counting on Frank

As young readers journey into the natural world, they will discover that numbers, patterns, shapes ― and much more! ― can be found by observing everyday plants and animals. What if animals and plants knew math, just like you? Would leaves fall in patterns? Would whales enter a race? In Counting on Fall, the first title in the Math in Nature series by award-winning author Lizann Flatt, nature comes to life to help children grasp concepts of number sense and numeration. The engaging “What if?” format of this informational picture book is sure to delight five- to seven-year-olds. Each of the four books in the Math in Nature series will cover one season of the year and one area of the math curriculum. Colorful, cut-paper collage art uniquely evokes the natural world, while two levels of text ― one a lyrical story, the other asking children to problem-solve ― bring the reader to a full understanding of the math concept being covered.

This beautifully illustrated picture book uses counting and rhyme to tell the story of friends. Frog, a small creature with a big heart, learns the true meaning of friendship when he spends a few happy hours with his pals. One morning Frog sits alone on a log, lonely for company. One by one, his friends join him for an afternoon of fun. Then, one by one, they leave as the day draws to an end. Although Frog is alone again, he is happy because he knows that his good friends will always be nearby. Counting on Friends teaches science, math and social skills. Children add and subtract the numbers one to five as each friend arrives and departs. At the end of the story, readers play a counting game in which they must find groups of five matching items in each illustration. From cover to cover, this storybook makes learning fun!
